Charlie Crist: A Serving of Pork Sounds Good

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On November 11, I wrote of the statements that Charlie Crist made denying that he ever supported Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill in his role as Florida’s Governor. Unfortunately for his obfuscation, though, I noted that he and 17 other governors signed a letter in February of this year announcing support for the Stimulus. Apparently […]

Posted on by Duane Lester

Jeffery Dahmer killed his first victim in 1978. Over the next 13 years, he would kill 17 people. When police finally arrested Dahmer, they found a human head in the refrigerator. Not long after that, they found three more in the freezer, along with a human heart. The police would learn the depths of one […]

 

Sarah Palin Interviewed By Rush And Oprah, A Study In Contrasts

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The Sarah Palin – Oprah interview couldn’t have been more different than the Sarah Palin – Rush interview. I watched the Oprah interview yesterday after having not watched the Oprah Show in years. I listened to Rush today after listening intermittently for years. If I tell you how long, you’ll realize I’m older than I […]

Global Warming Produces Plague of Giant Jellyfish

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even as the wheels come loose from the discredited global warming hoax, the statist media continues to fabricate exotic new threats in an increasingly farcical attempt to scare us into believing in the liberal elite’s favorite Trojan horse for totalitarianism. Now we need the Authorities to do something really drastic or we’ll be menaced by […]

 

Unnamed Experts Find Michele Bachmann Extreme

Posted on by Dave Blount

Michele Bachmann must be doing something right. She’s scared the pants off moonbats all the way over in England: Bachmann, at 53, is a darling of the so-called Tea Party movement, which has campaigned vociferously against healthcare reform, the economic stimulus package and legislation to combat climate change. Her followers have been behind mass rallies […]

 

Chinese PWN Obama During Human Rights Speech

Posted on by William Teach

This is the kind of thing that was bound to happen after the Sec. Of State started off the year by telling the Chinese government that human rights were second to economic survival. It’s also the the kind of thing a country can do when they hold a huge chunk of the U.S. debt in […]

 

Oops! Americans Overwhelmingly Disagree With Obama On Civilian KSM Trial

Posted on by William Teach

I didn’t write it in my post on KSM, but, I did drop some comments around some sites wondering what the polls would say regarding Obama’s gaffetastic idea to prosecute KSM and the other folks involved with 9/11 in civilian courts in NYC, two blocks from the site where the World Trade Center stood. About […]

 

Five Terrible Cruelties of Liberalism

Posted on by John Hawkins

“You will find that I am kind. Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand…I require only that you kneel.” — King Xerxes, 300 Liberalism is an extraordinarily deceptive, ruinous and cruel ideology. That’s because liberalism comes, arms wide open, whispering sweet words of compassion and pity, even as it forcefully slams down a […]

 

Thinning The RINO Herd?

Posted on by McQ

Here’s an interesting exchange between Chris Wallace and Republican GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Fox News Sunday yesterday: WALLACE: Let me turn, because I would – I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t ask you a few political questions, Senator. Conservatives are now talking about launching primary challenges against […]

 

Illinois’ Gov And Senator Think Terrorists Bring ‘Good-Paying Jobs’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see how clueless Democrats like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Senator Dick Durbin are on matters of national security. With Barack Hussein Obama’s decision to treat the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay as if they are common American criminals, as the president bestows all American rights upon them, and with his decision to […]

 

Lift a Glass to the Past: America Rooted in Tradition or a New Covenant?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is the United States a grand experiment, a new covenant invented out of whole cloth by the fertile minds of the founders from never before seen ideas or is it a nation spawned from deeply rooted traditions of western thought? This was the question posited in a one-day-long conference on classicism in America’s founding sponsored […]

Today’s Andrew Sullivan Obvious
Lack of Self-Awareness Update

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

Having been on the road a lot lately, I’ve had little time to keep track of the psycho-dramatic peregrinations of Andrew Sullivan. One of the most hysterically laughable aspects of Sully’s recent blogging is how he engages in psychological projection, accusing others of his own most obvious faults, to wit: I’ve heard it before from […]

 

The Sarah Palin Storm Begins: Will Her Book Bring Her Back?

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

The jealous ovary hater Andrew Sullivan froths again. Sarah Palin must be peeking her head out of Alaska and Facebook. How DARE she?! Still, I can’t help but imagining the envy among fellow Republicans. Rick Perry spouting about Obama’s socialism won’t get the press that Sarah Palin’s discussion about anything will get. And still Sarah […]

Genocide In India: The Logical Conclusion When Life Is Devalued

Yet, when I returned to India as an adult even my pro-choice mind could not comprehend the absolute horror of the fact that in less […]

 

President Neophyte Gets Snippy Over Afghanistan Questioning

Posted on by William Teach

I suppose when you are used to the press treating you like you are a barely teenaged Disney TV star, you get a bit snippy when they ask you tough questions President Barack Obama made no effort to conceal his irritation when his press corps used the first question of his maiden Far East trip […]
